Yes it asks for my Id and password and that's where I'm stuck because it tells me what I'm putting in is wrong. I dont have any other apple products but I confirmed my info was correct because I cant log into apple and itunes on my pc. And yes I have 2 factor auth.
Thanks!
From Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support, refer to:
What if I use two-factor authentication on a device running older software?
If you use two-factor authentication with devices running older OS versions—like an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)—you might be asked to add your six-digit verification code to the end of your password when signing in. Get your verification code from a trusted device running iOS 9 and later or OS X El Capitan and later, or have it sent to your trusted phone number. Then type your password followed by the six-digit verification code directly into the password field.
For example, if your password was "ExampleApplePassword", and your code was 012-345, enter "ExampleApplePassword012345".

Ok I've gotten it to download and install the os but now its asking for the verification code sent to my other devices. The last one sent to me it is saying it's the wrong code

Welcome to Apple Support Community.
Please let us know what year your Mac is and what version of macOS you are currently using.

Year is somewhere near 2009 was using OS X Yosemite that's about all I can remember
It's asking for your Apple ID password, correct? If so, do you have two-factor authentication set-up for your Apple ID? Do you have access to another Mac?
